Inner Boundaries of Purity
Deuteronomy 27:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Deuteronomy 27 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse pronounces a curse on a man who lies with his father's wife, exposing a breach of family order. The community affirms the judgment with 'Amen,' signaling collective moral alignment.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's frame, the verse is not a historical record but a map of inner states. 'Father' signifies old conditioning; 'his wife' represents inherited images of authority we unconsciously partner with. When we 'lie with' that image, the I AM—our waking awareness—uncovers the belief's garment we wore to fit the old pattern. The curse and the Amen mark the inner chorus that responds to misalignment with a call for integrity; the remedy is not punishment but a revision of the self. By choosing I AM as the sole, changeless presence of life, we dissolve loyalty to outdated scripts and restore inner order. Sit in silence and replay a scene where old loyalties dissolve and you stand clear in your true consciousness. Then feel purity becoming your natural state as you practice a firm, present-tense assumption of the self as I AM.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and declare: I AM the boundary of my life; I am pure, and I choose alignment. Then imagine the old pattern dissolving and feel the truth of your I AM saturating every cell.
